His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

She also advocates for people with her disease and other rare illnesses, traveling to Washington, D.C., to lobby for medical research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, Bueso is fighting for her life once more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigration authorities previously told her and her family to leave the U.S. by mid-September — or face deportation to her home country of Guatemala.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday, USCIS \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/news/alerts/uscis-re-opens-previously-pending-deferral-requests\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">announced\u003c/a> the agency will reopen the pending cases of immigrants, often with severe medical conditions who were denied humanitarian relief to stay in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, the Bueso family called the news of USCIS reconsidering cases, “encouraging.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We see this as a first step in revisiting our status as U.S. residents and will be working with out local representatives to find a more permanent solution that guarantees Isabel’s life is never put at risk again,” according to the statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>USCIS’ announcement comes as KQED and other media outlets reported her case. Members of Congress from the Bay Area also joined roughly 100 colleagues demanding answers about the agency’s decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it is still unclear what will happen to the future of the medical deferred action program, which allowed Bueso and her family to stay in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel like I’m advocating for my own life,” Bueso, 24, of Concord, said last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘Pulling the Plug on a Respirator’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bueso and her family have lived in the U.S. under “deferred action,” a form of temporary humanitarian relief that they renewed every few years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='small' align='right' citation='Maria Isabel Bueso, 24, of Concord']‘My mom and I, we started crying together. I started shaking. … It was just a shock for me because I depend on that treatment.’[/pullquote]When she was 7, doctors in the Bay Area invited Bueso to participate in a clinical trial for a new drug to treat her condition — mucopolysaccharidosis type VI. In 2003, her family moved to California from Guatemala. The clinical trial eventually led to federal approval for the treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People with Bueso’s disease lack an enzyme that allows the body to break down certain sugars.

Members of Congress from the Bay Area also joined roughly 100 colleagues demanding answers about the agency’s decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it is still unclear what will happen to the future of the medical deferred action program, which allowed Bueso and her family to stay in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel like I’m advocating for my own life,” Bueso, 24, of Concord, said last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘Pulling the Plug on a Respirator’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bueso and her family have lived in the U.S. under “deferred action,” a form of temporary humanitarian relief that they renewed every few years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

This would be a far broader use of the travel ban authority that we’ve seen by any prior president.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. sources familiar with the administration’s plans to take action against Guatemala caution that nothing is final until Trump signs the paperwork.

It’s in the works,” said a source familiar with details of some of the remittance plans. “This is not just some random comment from Trump.

"content": "\u003cp>Four immigrant advocacy groups based in California sued the Trump administration on Tuesday in federal court in San Francisco to block a new rule barring migrants from pursuing asylum if they traveled through another country — on their way to the U.S. — without seeking protections there first.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorneys with the American Civil Liberties Union, which represents the groups, argued that what’s known as the third-country rule was “arbitrary and capricious,” and violated U.S. immigration law because protections “cannot be categorically denied based on an asylum-seeker's route to the United States.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='small' align='right' citation='Tony, an asylum-seeker from Cameroon']'You can’t say that refugees should apply for asylum in Mexico. Because first of all, they don’t feel protected from the police.'[/pullquote]The departments of Justice and Homeland Security \u003ca href=\"https://www.dhs.gov/news/2019/07/15/dhs-and-doj-issue-third-country-asylum-rule#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">announced\u003c/a> the new rule on Monday and it took effect on Tuesday. The policy aims to reduce the influx of Central American migrants seeking refuge at the southern border, which officials say is overwhelming the country's immigration system. Exceptions are included for people who were denied protection claims elsewhere, were victims of human trafficking, or have traveled through countries that have not signed major international treaties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked about the lawsuit by KQED, Homeland Security declined to comment and the Justice Department didn't respond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The United States is a generous country but is being completely overwhelmed by the burdens associated with apprehending and processing hundreds of thousands of aliens along the southern border,\" Attorney General William Barr said Monday in a statement announcing the new policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Top officials with the administration maintain \"loopholes\" in current laws allow asylum-seekers to be released into the U.S. while their claims are decided by a judge — a process that can take years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The third-country rule comes just days after a widely publicized Immigration and Customs Enforcement operation to arrest and deport 2,000 migrants was set to begin in major cities. Mass arrests have yet to materialize in the San Francisco Bay Area or other California cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='small' align='right' citation='John Eastman, Chapman University law professor']'The Immigration and Nationality Act gives the attorney general very explicit authority to impose such conditions as he thinks are warranted.'[/pullquote]The Trump administration was trying to circumvent the asylum process established by the U.S. Refugee Act, which was passed by Congress in 1980, said Daniel Sharp, legal director of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.carecen-la.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Central American Resource Center in Los Angeles\u003c/a> — one of the groups suing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's an attempt to rewrite four decades of asylum law by a rule that the administration is issuing without even a public comment period,\" said Sharp, adding that his organization has represented thousands of asylum-seekers since its inception in 1983.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But John Eastman, a law professor at Chapman University in Orange, said the changes were lawful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The Immigration and Nationality Act gives the attorney general very explicit authority to impose such conditions as he thinks are warranted,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He agreed with Trump administration officials that effectively blocking most asylum claims going forward will help unclog a growing backlog of immigration court cases, and take pressure off border authorities managing overcrowded facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I applaud the administration for trying to take some action to deal with it,\" Eastman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='asylum-seekers' label='More Coverage']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Between 2017 and 2018, asylum applications increased by nearly 70%, according to government figures. U.S. border officials arrested significantly more parents with children in the last nine months than at any time since 2013, when the agency began tracking family units. Many of those seeking asylum at the southern border say they are fleeing extreme violence and poverty in their home countries, as well as government inaction in terms of addressing these issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most migrants waiting outside the San Ysidro Port of Entry in Tijuana on Monday didn't know about the new rule.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tony, from Cameroon, who didn’t want to use his last name because he feared for his safety, said refugees wouldn’t want to apply for asylum in Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You can’t say that refugees should apply for asylum in Mexico,\" he said. \"Because first of all, they don’t feel protected from the police.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='small' align='right' citation='Sen.

Dianne Feinstein said the new rule was \"not only illegal, it's heartless and cruel.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These families are fleeing some of the most violent, dangerous countries in the world such as El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras,\" she said in a statement. \"Allowing them to seek protection in the United States isn’t a loophole, as the president says and Republicans continue to repeat, it’s a fundamental part of what makes us American.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post has been updated.

This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
